No, I don't know anything about nuclear weapons since I attended the Navy's Nuclear Weapons School.
I have forgotten more about nukes that you will ever know, dumbass!
Fallout from a non-nuclear explosion? EMP from a low-altitude detonation? ROFLMAO! You are talking out of your ass again!
Just shut up and keep your ignorance a secret!
Did I say there was a NON-Nuclear Explosion? Did I mention a Low Altitude Detonation?
I said that ICBMs are far different to defense than a conventional missile and unlike a conventional missile a Nuclear Armed ICBM does not have to reach it's target to do damage. it can be commanded to be detonated earlier and over a populated area, if it's launch team detects a counter measure.
This is why I spoke about an EMP and Nuclear Fallout.
If you are who you say you are, you would have agreed with me instead of acted like an ass.
The US would not need to send a strike group over there to simply counter a minor threat.
We sent those ships as a buffer to defense against a possible ICBM launch by Iran at Israel and we are positioned to defense against such a launch much earlier than Israel can do themselves.
But if you were a "Nuclear Weapons Expert" you would know that already.
Apparently you skipped class that day.
Why would I agree with you? Then we would both be wrong.
The USS Arlington you mentioned earlier in another post is an amphib! It has no missile capabilities other than self-defense!
Which missile system are the Iranians using for their nuke? When did they test this weapon's system? Have they ever tested a nuclear device to generate an EMP? Wouldn't an EMP large enough to harm Israel disable their own country as well?
If you shoot down a nuke before it detonates, all you have is parts falling to earth. It does not "blow up" in any way.
Did you ever consider which way the wind blows? Take a look at a map. An attack on the Gulf or Israel would cause massive fallout on Iran itself!
You have never stopped to think about any of this because you are an uneducated dullard.
